Electricity is a necessity of life. From heating our homes and keeping food fresh to lighting our homes or business and surfing the web, we depend on electricity to be available when we need it. Because you purchase electricity from Cuivre River Electric Cooperative (CREC), you are a cooperative member and owner. CREC exists to serve its members and strives to deliver reliable, affordable electricity and energy services.
Residential
Whether you're new to electric cooperatives or are simply changing residences within the CREC system, our team provides you with everything you'll need to know about being a member, and the services/products available to you.
Commercial
CREC is committed to delivering high-quality electric service to our commercial and industrial members. Our staff works to define requirements, establish service levels, and remain in regular contact, making sure that as your business grows and changes, we are there to support you.
Lighting
The co-op installs and maintains the streetlights, streetlight poles and dusk-to-dawn lights. Dusk-to-dawn lights are available for installation on existing poles. You pay a simple monthly fee. The fee covers electricity costs and maintenance as well as free design consultation.
Right of Way
CREC's right-of-way maintenance program focuses on electric safety, and reliability, and a tree management program founded on sound environmental and tree care practices, with a goal of fewer hazards, fewer power outages, and healthier trees.
Medical Alert Registry
Because CREC wants to be aware of members with special needs who depend on electricity for their next breath, we offer the ability to sign up for our Medical Alert Registry, so that every reasonable effort may be made to provide advance notice of a planned maintenance outage.
Outage/Other Alerts
To help keep members informed, CREC offers the option of receiving alerts related to outages, high usage, due date reminders, and more. To receive alerts, you must be registered as an online user.
